According to Michael Murphy, deputy chief of operations at West Metro Fire Rescue, emergency personnel was dispatched to Red Rocks around 11 p.m. in response to a call from friends of Brauer, whom Murphy estimates fell from approximately thirty feet.

When rescue officials arrived on the scene, Brauer was located after a fairly extensive search. "The report does not specify an exact location," says Murphy in regard to where in the park the fall occurred. "But it was somewhere between Ship Rock and the ravine just north of the amphitheater." Once stabilized, Brauer was taken by ambulance to St. Anthony Hospital, where she later died from her injuries. Carl Blesch, Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner, confirms that Brauer died from closed head trauma.

Brauer, who originally hailed from St. Louis, Missouri, was in Colorado visiting from New Orleans with her boyfriend Samuel Dosch, who was celebrating his thirtieth birthday. Friends and family members of the couple, which had been together for six years, have established a Give Forward fund for Dosch, and so far, they've raised more than three thousand dollars.

More than a name in another tragic story involving Red Rocks, Brauer, as evidenced by the photos on her Facebook page below, appeared to have lived a very full life.
